Romania’s Explosions.

Posted on November 16th, 2008 in current events by lizzie3



Wow! did you hear about the mining explosions in Romania on the news? If you didn’t you ought to read this post to find out what happened…

At least twelve killed and nine injured in the mining explosions in Romania on Saturday. The explosion occurred in a nineteenth century mine in Petrila, which happens to be a small town, Romania’s remote mining area Jiu Valley. Four more people were then killed trying to get to the victims. How sad is that! Rescue helicopters were sent for and rescued the injured and several treated for serious burns while the bodies still remain in the cave.

Apparently it has been the worse accident in Romania’s outdated mining industry since the 1989 fall of communisim which killed fourteen people in 2001.
